Thomas Pollard, a Sterling professor and the current chair of the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, was named dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at a ceremony in Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in May. He served as chair of the search committee charged with finding the new dean, and though the committee submitted a shortlist, many members of the committee wrote to University President Richard Levin separately during the final round of the search to recommend Pollard for the position.
